Xie Jingrun was also somewhat surprised to see her here.
His gaze paused when he saw what she was holding, and he said gently, "Your sister-in-law is inside, please go in."
Feng Xin glanced at him, bit her lip, and said, "Oh."
Xie Jingrun didn't say anything more and left on his own.
Watching his figure disappear into the distance, Feng Xin sighed.
She had known her brother, the Emperor, for so long, but he had never spoken to her in such a gentle voice.
Undeniably, she felt a sense of joy.
She carried Rong Qingqing's dress and went inside.
Rong Qingqing was sitting on the bed, intending to take a nap, when she saw her come in, and was a little surprised, "Why did you come here?"
Feng Xin handed the dress to Xiao Tao, saying, "I'll bring you the dress you left by the lake. Are you alright?"
"It's alright," Rong Qingqing said with a smile. "Have a seat."
Feng Xin sat down by the bed and, sensing her joyful mood, couldn't help but ask, "Why did you save Hua Yin? If it were me, I would have preferred her to drown."
Rong Qingqing sensed her hostility towards Hua Yin, chuckled softly, and then sighed, "Actually, I didn't really want to save her..."
Feng Xin stared at her with wide eyes, "Then why..."
“Huayin can actually swim. The reason she refused to come up was that she was waiting for your brother, the Emperor, to come down and save her. At that time, she was stalling for time. Although there were imperial guards present, there is a difference between men and women. Huayin did not want the guards to get close, and the guards could not do anything to her. Unfortunately, none of the palace maids present could swim, so I had to go down myself,” Rong Qingqing said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Feng Xin immediately understood and said angrily, "Hua Yin really has a good plan. If it had been the Emperor who went down to save her, she would definitely have taken the opportunity to cling to him, and Old Madam Hua would definitely have used the excuse that Hua Yin had lost her reputation to ask the Emperor to take her as a concubine. The Emperor probably wouldn't be able to refuse, and even if he did, it wouldn't be so easy."
Rong Qingqing nodded, "That's exactly right."
Feng Xin curled her lip, saying with disdain, "I've always known that Hua Yin looks sickly, but she's quite cunning. I never expected she'd dare to scheme against my Emperor brother this time. Luckily, you saw through her plan, and all her scheming came to nothing." She seemed quite pleased with herself as she finished speaking. She had never liked Hua Yin; before, it was because they both liked Xie Jingrun, but now, she simply disliked her.
Rong Qingqing smiled, feeling quite pleased inside.
Especially since Xie Jingrun didn't even glance at Hua Yin at that moment, although she was being held by Xie Jingrun and couldn't see Hua Yin's expression, she could still imagine Hua Yin's disappointment and disbelief at that moment.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Seeing this, Feng Xin joked, "Compared to Hua Yin's scheming, sister-in-law is no less cunning, easily thwarting her plans. However, sister-in-law is truly brave, suddenly jumping down like that. I bet Hua Yin never expected you to jump; I saw her face change color when I saw it."
"And you wouldn't believe it, when His Majesty rushed over and saw you in the water, his expression was one of extreme anxiety and anger. I'd never seen such emotions on his face before. At that moment, he couldn't see anyone else; he didn't care whether Huayin lived or died. Haha, I still find it hilarious when I think about it now. It seems His Majesty really cares about you."
